Ordinance Amendment to Section 200
Relating to City Council Meetings
On August 10, the City Council reviewed an ordinance amendment
which changes the council meeting dates. The ordinance changes
the regular meeting dates from the Ist, 3rd and 4th Mondays to the 2nd,
3rd and 4th Mondays. The ordinance sets the regular council meeting
dates and times as follows:
· 2nd Monday
6:30 p.rm or immediately following adjournment of the
regularly scheduled 6:00 p.m. meeting of the Economic
Development Authority
· 3rd Monday 6:00 p.m.
· 4th Monday 6:00 p.m.
Because the ordinance states the 2nd Monday following EDA meeting
as a regular meeting date, the council thought it appropriate to have
the EDA review the amendment prior to its adoption.
At the 8/10 EDA meeting, the EDA indicated that it had no problem
with the recommendation to change the council meeting dates as
recommended in the ordinance.
SPECIAL MEETINGS
The ordinance also amends the section relating to special meetings.
This has been amended to comply with State law.
